Who says break-downs can't play to the lens?




Before we shoot, you'll get from me what I call a "prep-letter" (going to post here soon for reference). In that letter I set out to put you at ease that children's break-downs don't bother me in the least. In fact, sometimes we can get some great shots out of them!

These shots came at the end of an extended shoot. We got a lot of great shots (will post soon), but her mama and I ended up loving these last three. She was "done". You know D-O-N-E. They were leaving. We were wrapping up conversation. And then I noticed that lying on the ground with her just might present us with something sweet and fun.

As it turns out, I think we caught her at "her." Her smile. Her giggle. And catching you in your "most you" is always, always the goal.

So sometimes we have a break-down or two (who doesn't?!). Our job is to fill the space in between with as much fun as possible, so we can get this stuff :)

Ticklebugs Photography

Welcome! Ticklebugs Photography is an offshoot of RobynBeckleyViningStudios. It's named after a fun family tradition started by my dad: Ticklebugs. You know when you're lying on the floor and think you've laughed the hardest you can laugh and then you see a big hand of wiggling fingers coming at you and someone saying, "Here comes the TICKELBUGS!"? Well, I personally don't like being tickled anymore, but my kids love it and the tradition has continued. This is a way to say thanks to my Dad and Mom for believing in me and helping me get my photography business started, and to my husband for continuing the tradition of (believing in me and) laughs and giggles and love with our own kids. I should note that signing up for a photoshoot with me does not mean you'll be tickled. Well, maybe...But I like life when you've laughed as hard as you think you can laugh, and then you laugh some more.  And I like to try to capture that kind of fun.

Stay tuned for group shoot locations and times (mini-sessions that save you money!). Located in the Milwaukee area.
